Behind These Hazel Eyes

Behind these hazel eyes

Lies the sorrow and my pain

Dreaming for demise

It's my secret and my shame

In form of words

In forms of rhyme

This is the only way I'll be heard

Before the end of time

Secrets are scattered

Trust is broken

Broken and battered

Til these words are spoken

I tell you this

Though you don't even hear

What I tell you is

What lies in my empty tears

Things of love

Things of loneliness

Good won't rise above

There is no happiness

Lie to be confused

Tell to be an enemy

Stay to be used

Leave to be just me

I am alone in the dark

Not knowing what I write

And my mind will embark

On it's own endless flight

You may not comprehend

What I'm trying to say

You don't have to understand

It's just another day
